Ghana Mission Trip


August 31, 2009 six men from CRPC flew together to do a work in Ghana. We went to product test a piece that would help oral cultures train children with Bible stories. There were no words only 16 cards with pictures. Our goal was to test 4 groups of children ranging from 8-12 years old. Each of the groups consisted of about 200 children each. Each group was tested on their ability to put the cards in order and tell the stories by memory. What we saw was amazing. The average score in one village on the pretest was 7.12%. The average score at the end was over 85%. Our partner in ministry OneHope plans on taking the research that was accumulated and develop this product globally. For next year they will distribute 1 million different sets of cards. In 2011 they plan on producing another 3 million sets to be sent all over the world.
